was Brad, Rachel’s boss. He’s the owner of the club. He asked me to go out with him tonight so we can get to know each other better and he even texted me to see if I arrived home safely. He called me baby.”
Why is she looking at me like that?
“Can I talk now?” Rachel asked. Gia rolled her eyes at her, but nodded. “Are you fucking nuts? He’s my boss. What if it goes bad between the both of you and he fires me? I just told you that I need my job now more than ever.”
“You’ll be fine. I’m sure he’s not going to fire you. It’s one date, what could happen?”
“Did he tell you about the psychotic ex? She’s a lunatic. I practically scream at her all day. Just be careful, please.”
“Whatever, I can handle that bitch. She better back up off my potential new man,” said Gia sarcastically.
They all started cracking up laughing.
Oh, thank god she’s okay with me going out with him. Not that I need her permission, but it’s always great to have.
“What happened with Tom?” Maria asked with a smirk on her face.
“Oh, I just told him honestly that we should be friends. The freak told me, ‘well you know where I am if you change your mind,’ and ran to his car- probably to cry.”
Now the girls were practically rolling on the floor with laughter. With tears falling down her face, Maria said, “I have to get going. Hang in there Rach. And girl, you better call me and let me know what happens on your date with this hot gorgeous man.”
“ I definitely will. I gotta go too. I have to go get a manicure and pedicure. Rach, I love you. Call me if you need anything at all. No matter what time it is. Let Vinnie wonder for a couple days and see what happens. Kiss my nephews for me.”
“Thanks, girls. It was great talking to you. I feel a little bit better. Talk to you later.”
They all hugged each other goodbye and went their separate ways. Gia was feeling a sense of relief that she had received the green light from Rachel, at least until she got in one of her moods again.
* * * * *
It was noon and Gia had so much to do to prepare for her date with Brad. Her nerves were shot today. She thought about her sister’s husband . She didn’t want to upset Rachel even more but how could he do something like that to her. Rachel does everything for him and he goes and cheats on her.
At that moment, her phone beeped and distracted her from her thoughts. It was a text message from Brad.
“Hey baby. How are you? I’m sitting here thinking about you.”
“I’m good! How are you?”
“Better now that I’m talking to you. I’ll be even better when I see you tonight.”
“ I can’t wait.”
“Text me your address later and I’ll pick you up at 7 P.M. I made reservations.”
“Sounds great.”
“Talk to you later, baby.”
“TTYL”
Oh my God, I think I just had an orgasm in my car.
Chapter Four
Brad was smiling to himself as he put his cell phone back down on his desk. Just thinking about Gia’s beautiful face made his body tense up, but he had to finish reviewing the presentation for Monday’s meeting. His desk was covered with papers. He really hated to work on a Saturday, but this was the life he lived since he became the CEO.
He was so happy that Gia agreed to go out to dinner with him tonight. He kind of felt guilty watching her on the club video monitors last night, but he hadn’t been expecting her to show up at the club. When he saw her, he’d been mesmerized by her beauty. He spent the evening trying to find a way to get her alone. When he saw her going to the ladies room, he used that as an opportunity to speak with her. He really didn’t want to see her leave with that guy, but he had to make the sacrifice for just one night. After tonight he was going to make sure that she didn’t want to go out with anyone else.
